Steve/Ed- For me, with my iPhone and its clinometer app, I'd be pushing for an iPhone with a laser rangefinder...the three accelerometers the iPhone has are more accurate than the clinometer (can read with a vernier like device to 1/5 degrees)! But yeah, I'd like my Nikon 440 to have a digital or optical clino, particularly sharing same optics! -Don

Perhaps we can encourage Nikon to pair with Suunto or Brunton to create a clean instrument.

Also even with sighting each individually on a single sprig, having them side by side would be a minimal adjustment from instrument to instrument when looking at the same point as opposed to dropping one to its lanyard and raising the other while trying to keep the same point in your view...
